FL and SML have no backstory together. The only time they talked to each other is when she told him to stop following…
SDM asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he wrote what a man was saying on TV: "play go stop with his whole family". That's fact. He did not bother to take one minute of his life to write something personal and tell his real wish to a girl who genuinely asked him. So he was not invested in the letters. That's not an interpretation. This is an understanding.
Maybe when they played Go stop alltogether, HJP wished he had a family he could play the game with. But it does not tell that 15 years ago, when he wrote his answer and copied the idea from the TV, he also wished the same thing. You are just projecting a supposed wish 15years later on an event 15 years earlier. Look again at the scene. There is nothing which suggests he wished that. Had he not heard that wish on the TV, he would not have written it.
I am glad you agree the story of the dog was fake. It does not make others things of the letters fake but you cannot alledge that they were true either. Because you don't know these other things. How can you qualify something you are not even aware of?
What are the other parts that you deem are true in the letters? I am not cherry picking. I am just telling you facts that happened and my understsanding of them. HJP did not even remember what he wrote to her that was so important for her she cared to realize his wish 15years later. That's fact.
HJP came up with the idea. He provided the car, watch, suits, place... to maintain the lie. NDS just read the letters and decided to go by himself to help her and because he fell in love at first sight with her. Now he is trapped because he really likes her but she likes a NDS who is not him and who actually does not exist. So both will ultimately be hurt by NJP's idea or maybe this is how he is bringing them together.
FL and SML have no backstory together. The only time they talked to each other is when she told him to stop following…
I am not discounting the letters. I am saying they are not his feelings and not his soul. That's fact. In Ep4 when NDS asks him if he remembers what was his birthday wish in the letter he wrote to her. He has no idea. And then he remembers he just wrote what a man was saying on tv. So how can you say he was personally invested in these letters. Even the story of his dog which died was fake. He never had a dog. It was made up to look sympathetic and write comforting words for SDM as she separated from her sister (and mother). Grandma told him the story and words to write in order to comfort her.
I think it is necessary to stick at was is shown to form an understanding and not speculate. In ep1 it is nowhere showed that he has feelings for her or was personally invested in writing to her by himself. Now that they meet again, he is confused as he might start to like her but he is deceiving her at the same time and his game of lies is handing over her to another man.
I don't get why people are shipping the leads. I like both their characters and I've tried hard to ship them together…
FL and SML have no backstory together. The only time they talked to each other is when she told him to stop following her.
The letters were a forgery and communication between her and a NDS who does not exist in reality. That soul she met with these letter do not exist and that person was certainly not HJP. HJP only wrote the letters to help grandma and they are now partners in crime again to keep deceiving SDM after they invited NDS to join them but the guy fell for SDM at first sight because she is pretty and he is a nerd.
SDM has no feelings for HJP and never had. Her first love in that soul in these letters who has now the good looks of NDS.
I agree with your comments. I came here after watching "Love is Sweet" where Bai Lu had fantastic on-screen chemistry…
I would say Bai Lu and Leo Luo and their great chemistry account for 70% of the success of Love is sweet. In this drama, the SML is a more endearing and interesting character so far. ML has more mystery around him but SML has more background and he makes a better pair with FL. When he looks at her he is totally smitten. I think now I will wait to binge watch this drama once it has finished airing.
Yes, I never read the book but some viewers on mdl keep mentioning how similiar HJP to Cyrano so I take a look…
Roxanne was stubborn and capricious and vain. A woman who loved beauty. She fell in love at first sight with Christian because of his beauty and she made Cyrano protect her "love" when she never exchanged a single word with Christian. She could not stand the idea that Christian could be a prize idiot. This is why Christian asked Cyrano to write letters for him. To lend him his soul while he would use his beauty. The man Roxanne loved was the soul of Cyrano in the body of Christian.
Christian is killed during the siege of Aras and after Cyrano dies she says "I only loved one man but I lost him twice".
The common part here is that SDM loves an man who does not exist. He is the soul of letters written by HJP and her grandma in the body of NDS from Samsan tech. She clearly says it when he asked her why she likes him. The only point referring to him was his "beautiful hands".
I do not agree. Of course, the letters were important to her because she felt lonely after her sister left. But…
Hehe nope I ship him this that new character the lawyer/designer/scammer... whatever... in the bookstore. She looks completely his style. I mean the style to match him.
First male to appear is not always the main lead. See Dream high for example. HJP met SDM as a kid but never liked…
I agree HJP is the boss so far. He is the one with the most background and with the most impact and the one who gives the tone to the good guys. But that does not mean he wins the cup and kisses the princess in the end. Maybe his princess is not the FL but another woman.
I do not agree. Of course, the letters were important to her because she felt lonely after her sister left. But…
HJP took these letters like a chore. She asked him about his wish on his birthday and he told her something he was watching on TV. If grandma was here she would have told him a better thing to write but even by himself he was not personally invested at all. Just face it. At that time he was struggling and did not bother to be emotionally involved.
Why is writer doing this to me with director as well? IT HUUURTS! This is the first drama where I cant cheer for…
First male to appear is not always the main lead. See Dream high for example. HJP met SDM as a kid but never liked her. She asked him what he wishes for his birthday and the guy wrote something he was watching on TV! Is NDS using HJP or the other way around. HJP is a great guy but SDM is not is soulmate and never was from the beginning.
I laughed till I cried at the knighting scene PURE COMEDY and at this point I may guess that HAN is the one who…
HJP stands no chance. He is not the real NAM. There is no real NAM. This real NAM is a forgery. When the misunderstanding is cleared and they all start from a clean slate... NDS from Samsan all the way!!
Maybe when they played Go stop alltogether, HJP wished he had a family he could play the game with. But it does not tell that 15 years ago, when he wrote his answer and copied the idea from the TV, he also wished the same thing.
